(b) Given x(t)= -2u(t+2)
The signal -2u(t+2) can be obtained by first drawing the unit step signal u(t) as shown in figure 1.2(a), then
shifting the signal u(t) to the left by 2 units of time to obtain u(t+2) as shown in figure 1.2(b) and then
multiplying the signal u(t+2) by -2 to obtain -2u(t+2) as shown in figure 1.2(c)

(a) The signal x(t-3) can be obtained by shifting x(t) to the right (delay) by 3 units as shown in figure 3.2(a)
The signal x(t+3) can be obtained by shifting x(t) to the left (advance) by 3 units as shown in figure 3.2 (b).

(c) The signal x[(5/3)t] can be obtained by time scaling x(t) by a factor of (5/3), i.e., by compressing the
signal x(t) by (3/5) times as shown in figure 3.4(a).
The signal x[(3/5)t] can be obtained by time scaling x(t) by a factor of (3/5), i.e., by expanding x(t) by (5/3)
times as shown in figure 3.4(b). The zero point remains as it is because 0 x a = 0 itself.

(a) 2u(t+2)-2u(t-3) (b)u(t+4)u(-t+4) (c)r(t)-r(t-1)-r(t-3)+r(t-4)
(d) r(-t)u(t+2) (e) r(-0.25t+1)
Solution:
(b) Given 2u(t+2)-2u(t-3)
The signal u(t) is shown in figure 4.1(a). The signal 2u(t+2) is obtained by shifting u(t) to the left by 2 units and
multiplying by 2 as shown in figure 4.1(b).
Therefore,
2u(t+2)-2u(t-3)=
i.e.,
r(-0.25t+1)=
Therefore x(n)=u(n+2)-u(n-2)
Therefore x(n)=u(n-2)-u(n-6)
• The signal shown in figure 5.1(c) is starting at t=-2 with a slope 1 and extends up to t=-1. Therefore,
(c)
From -2 t -1 x(t)=r(t+2)
At t=-1, the slope is changing from 1 to 0. So at t=1, we have to add a ramp with slope -1. This 0 slope is
maintained up to t=1. Therefore
From -2 t 1 x(t)=r(t+2)-r(t+1)
At t=1, the slope is changing from 0 to -1. So at t=1, we have to add a ramp with a slope -1. This -1 slope is
maintained up to t=2. Therefore
From -2 t x(t)=r(t+2)-r(t+1)-r(t-1)
At t=2, the slope is changing from –1 to 0. So at t=2, we have to add a ramp with a slope 1. This 0 slope is
maintained up to t=∞. Therefore
From -2 t ∞ x(t)=r(t+2)-r(t+1)-r(t-1)+r(t-2)
Therefore x(t)= r(t+2)-r(t+1)-r(t-1)+r(t-2)
The analysis is shown in figure 5.2.

(d) The signal shown in figure 5.1(d) is starting from t=0 with a slope ½. So it is ramp ½ r(t). At t=2, the value
of r(t)=1. At t=2, the amplitude is suddenly falling to -1 and then rising linearly with same slope ½ . Hence at
t=2, we have to add a step of -2 amplitude i.e., -2u(t-2). At t=4, the signal terminates. So at t=4, we have to add
a ramp with a slope -1/2, i.e. -1/2 r(t-4). The analysis is shown in figure 5.3
